Gordon Beckham shooting for weekend return
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(1:02 am ET) White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham started at shortstop for Triple-A Charlotte Monday during his rehab assignment, MLB.com reports. He's had five hits over starts as the DH and at second base. 

Manager Robin Ventura mentioned that Beckham could rejoin the team over the weekend. 

"Sometime by the end of the week you would think, but again, you never know how that hand is going to react," said Ventura of Beckham and his recovery from a fractured left hamate bone. "It's probably been sore because this is the first time he's been hitting on a daily basis. You would hope so, but nothing's guaranteed."


John Danks looking better for Friday
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(1:00 am ET) White Sox starter John Danks seems lined up to start Friday against the Marlins, MLB.com reports Monday. Although the White Sox don't have anything written in stone, it appears Danks will make his season debut versus Miami. 

"We'll have a plan midweek and announce what the next step will be," said general manager Rick Hahn of Danks. "We'll have him around for the next couple days, probably throw a [side session] with Coop."

Danks has made four minor league starts and may make his next one with the White Sox. 


Paul Konerko thinks he's close
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(12:56 am ET) White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko went 0 for 3 with a walk and a run scored Monday against Boston. Still, he feels he's close to turning a corner, MLB.com reports. 

Konerko, batting .220 on the year, said he's swung the bat better the past few days prior to Monday's game. 

"I had a few hits the day before yesterday and was probably better yesterday and didn't get any," said Konerko, who entered Monday's game hitting .224 with four homers and 17 RBI. "In this game, close and the results are kind of two different things. There has been lot of moments that you're close and it feels like you got it, but sometimes that has to line up with somebody not catching a ball, the wind not knocking down a ball -- those little moments where that can kind of turn it for you. That hasn't happened."


Josh Lindblom sent back to Round Rock
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(12:48 am ET) The Rangers optioned Monday's starter Josh Lindblom back to Triple-A Round Rock after his outing against the Athletics, MLB.com reports. 

He went 4 2/3 innings in an 8-2 loss and allowed four runs on seven hits. He struck out four and walked two over 88 pitches. The Rangers are expected to add another pitcher Tuesday in the corresponding roster move. 


Shane Victorino thinks he's fine
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(12:46 am ET) Red Sox outfielder Shane Victorino doesn't believe his injured hamstring is too serious, WEEI.com reports Monday. Still, he's annoyed at suffering yet another injury. 

"It seems like if isn’t one thing, it’s another right now," said Victorino, who had just returned from a sore back Sunday after missing two games. "They all say it’s all connected. That’s what’s frustrating for me. What is it? I just want to get back to being healthy and being out there and being a healthy player and feeling good. I don’t think this is anything serious, nor do the trainers. We’ll see how it feels tomorrow."


Ryan Vogelsong suffers fractured hand
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(12:44 am ET) Giants starter Ryan Vogelsong left Monday's start against the Nationals with a fractured right hand, MLB.com reports. Vogelsong was hit in the knuckles during an at-bat in the fifth inning. 

Vogelsong, who will definitely miss some time and more than likely end up on the disabled list, was having his finest pitching performance of the season prior to the injury. The Giants were leading 6-0 at the time of this update and Vogelsong is on track to earn the win and improve to 2-4. 

His next start is scheduled for Sunday against Colorado, but that is unlikely to happen. 


Adam Eaton singles during Triple-A rehab
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(12:38 am ET) Diamondbacks outfielder Adam Eaton started a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno Monday, leading off against Round Rock. 

Eaton, who is rehabbing an elbow injury, went 1 for 3 before being replaced. 

He started in center field and singled. Eaton recently moved his rehab to Triple-A from Class A Visalia. Eaton is expected to be re-evaluated following his third game with Reno. 


Jon Garland drops third straight
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(12:34 am ET) Rockies starter Jon Garland was no match for Patrick Corbin of the Diamondbacks Monday in Colorado. The Arizona starter pitched a complete game and Garland lasted only six innings. 

Garland allowed five earns runs and scattered 11 hits over 97 pitches. He walked one and did not record a strikeout. His ERA is 5.19. 

The 33-year-old has lost three straight starts with 11 runs allowed over that span of 16 innings as his record fell to 3-5. His next scheduled outing comes Sunday at San Francisco. 


Patrick Corbin whirls complete-game gem
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(12:32 am ET) Diamondbacks starter Patrick Corbin was nothing short of dominant Monday night in Colorado. He didn't care he was pitching at Coors Field -- the Rockies could barely touch him. 

Corbin pitched a complete game as he allowed just one run over 97 pitches in the 5-1 victory. He improved to 7-0 in the process with a pristine 1.44 ERA. The only run he allowed came in the eighth inning on Jordan Pacheco's RBI double. 

The 23-year-old struck out 10 batters and gave up only three hits and a walk for his first career complete game. With 51 Ks over 62 1/3 innings and a seven-game winning streak, Corbin has been fantastic. His next scheduled start comes Sunday against San Diego. 


Jose Veras on a roll for Astros
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(12:26 am ET) Astros closer Jose Veras earned his seventh save Monday versus the Royals. Veras closed out a 6-5 win. 

He went 1-2-3 with two strikeouts against Kansas City. His ERA is 3.50. Veras has earned saves in five of his last six appearances since his last blown save.
